Star Wars Hasbro / Toys "R" Us Exclusive #4

The final chapter of "Machines of War" closes out this Hasbro/Toys "R" Us exclusive four-issue series from Dark Horse with a cover that puts the Republic's war machine front and center — clone troopers advance in the foreground while a Republic gunship roars overhead, trading laser fire with enemy fighters in a sky thick with action. Francis Portela's cover pencils capture the scale and momentum of Clone Wars-era combat beautifully, with the gleaming white armor of the clones contrasting against the chaos of the aerial battle above them. A satisfying send-off to a 2002 series that celebrated the hardware and soldiers of a galaxy at war.
